I tried out a launcher or drawer recently, but can't seem to find it now. It's not Go Launcher nor TouchWiz, but similar in that it allows the creation of folders in the drawer. When selecting apps to add to a folder, I had to edit the folder and tick the apps I wanted. I could even set the transparency of the drawer, if I recall correctly.
I've searched through the android>apps and Samsung Galaxy S2>apps threads but still can't find it. Does anyone know?
Does anyone know?
adw launcher or launcher pro
It's neither! I mentioned about creating folders in the drawer, and adding items by ticking (selecting) from a list.
GO Launcher EX? I think you can create folders/groups in the drawer.
GO launcher EX does that...
It's awesome <3
Please read what I said carefully.
Has anyone encountered the launcher or drawer which I described above? I've pretty sure I used it, just can't recall what it is at all!
It's not:
LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW, Zeam, AltDrawer...
Only one I can think of is Balancer Launcher

Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?

I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
That's the icon on the right little bar on the home page. I also added some Widgets like picture frames but now can't get them to delete.
Switch to another launcher, like Launcher Pro. This will allow you to customize the home screen and dock with whatever icons you like. If you upgrade to the paid version you can resize the widgets as well.
With the Widgets I wish I knew how to delete them. They don't seem to call up the trashcan when you grab them.
Not too sure about that, I didn't use the stock android launcher for long enough to try that. Like I said, I recommend Launcher Pro. You can also try ADW or Zeam. Although Zeam is not longer being worked on.
x2 on Launcher Pro. The only reason why I don't add that by default is that I think it should be the user's option. Some like LP, some like ADW. So, I add a stock Goggle Launcher just you have a basic Launcher until you replace it.
i dont like the app drawer of launcher pro...is there a way to change it..???..
i want to stick to launcher because of the widgets it has...is there such a launcher with better app drawer and supports folders??
what exactly dont you like? The scroll direction, size of icons, number of rows / colums? all of this is easily tweaked with launcher pro. It would help if you told us exactly what you do not like. I prefer ADW EX personally
Try Go Launcher EX from the market.

Agree! Go Dev Team is making new widgets too!
I'll quote myself from another post:
I've been using Go Launcher Ex for the past weeks and it's great.
It has some good features like a latest used apps' list, apps can be uninstalled by the click of your finger in app browser etc.
However, ADW Launcher / Ex has beautiful themes you can use.
Both ADW and Go launchers are stable on my P500.

hi, i have installed apps and games on my phone, the problem i am facing is that there are many icons on the menu. What i want to do is to create a folder in the menu and move some selective icons from it and paste it into the folder. Is there any app to do this.
Thanks
Search for circlelauncher in android market.
Edit: if you want you may wanna try switching to golauncher ex which supports folders in app drawer.
+1 for go launcher
Gotto agree that you should use Go launcher ex, the 2nd choice would be adw (from what ive read, never acutally used it).
So I was following the tutorial to install another keyboard and noticed that using anycut with zeam launcher does not seem to work. It says shortcut was created but no shortcut shows up. I installed ADW EX and same problem. Installed go launcher and it added the shortcuts and I was able to run the necessary settings and update the keyboard.
So question: anyone have this problem? I would like to be able to use anycut but I don't like go launcher.
with me its the opposite problem it wont show the shortcuts on the go launcher....
